I just watched Sara Moulton on Good Morning America talking
about washing produce. She said, Don't wash the triple washed
spinach/whatever. That's because if you wash it in your sink you
might contaminate it. I'm thinking ... huh? Then she talks about,
if you wash produce, better to wash it in a bowl. Well, DUH.

Is this a common thing, do people put their food directly on the sink
surface when they are washing it? Yuck! Personally, I just wash it
under running water and put it into a waiting bowl next to the sink.

I'm amazed that people would be washing, say, chicken or just dirty
dishes in their sink, then plopping produce right down on the same
surface. Like, the sink is clean just by virtue of being a sink?

I'm sure no one here would do that.
